Easton police
investigating Wednesday's shooting on the South Side have obtained the victim's
cellphone information in an attempt to learn more about the crime despite the victim's
lack of cooperation, court papers say.

Police returned the search warrant for Simon Jenkins'
cellphone today at District Judge Daniel Corpora's office in Easton.

Jenkins was shot multiple times Wednesday afternoon in the
700 block of Mauch Chunk Street,
court papers. The 33-year-old told police he called two people while inside a home that afternoon before walking over to Mauch
Chunk Street, court papers say. He had just hung
up with a third individual when he was approached from behind by two
unknown men and shot multiple times, according to court documents.

During police interviews following the shooting, Jenkins told
police he did not know the men responsible for the shooting and said he would
not cooperate with prosecution even if those responsible were arrested,
according to court papers.

Police obtained the search warrant Thursday, according to
court papers, because they suspected Jenkins was withholding information from
investigators.

Jenkins had previously been staying in a correctional halfway house in
the Berks County
area after being released from prison on an unspecified charge, according to Easton
police. Court documents show he was sentenced Feb. 7, 2011, to between four and eight years in state
prison for a cocaine charge.
